In a police call, a dispatcher names Blake and says he "isn't supposed to be there" and that he took the complainant's keys and refused to leave. The dispatcher later explains she doesn't have more details because the caller was "uncooperative."
When officers arrived, they attempted to arrest Blake and used a Taser to try to stop him, the DCI said. Blake then walked around his vehicle, "opened the driver's side door, and leaned forward," the agency said.
.....
During the investigation following the incident, the DCI said Blake admitted he had a knife and authorities later recovered one from the driver's side floorboard of his vehicle. No other weapons were located in the car, investigators said.
Then why not taze him instead?
Why shoot him 7 times?

I hope this is investigated fully.
Just think, if he would have just cooperated with police, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right?
Maybe the officers would have just kneeled on him, or put him in a choke hold or given him a rough ride until he died. Sometimes choices are not as clear cut as we would like.

Why do you poo poo this?
As long as you realize that goes both ways.
And if the cop didn't shoot based on scary hypothetical possibilities rather than what he actually saw?Just think, if he would have just cooperated with police, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right?
Because in the modern era cooperating with police in the United States has been no guarantee that the cooperative person will not be injured or killed.

I figured he was more involved in that call than first thought. Thinking he'd pull a knife on a bunch of armed cops wasn't using his brain cells, but the cop who shot him ? He wasn't either. Everyone was just reacting. There are pretty simple maneuvers for disarming a guy with a knife. Every correction officer knows how, so I'm assuming cops do too.
Bologna!
Even if the cop saw him reaching for a knife, the situation was no where near the time to shoot the man. The man was not in possession of a weapon. What the man should have done changes none of that. The cop should not have shot him in the back 7 times and that is where the wrong is.
